From Overgrown to Overrun: Preparing Your Land for the Ultimate Food Plot
Share
At Plant & Pursue, our mission is to empower you to pursue your passion with excellence. We provide the highest quality seeds—from Real World Gen 2 Soybeans to Clover & Chicory blends—but even the best seed in the world cannot thrive without the right foundation.
One of the most common questions we get is: "I have the perfect spot for a food plot, but it’s covered in thick brush and stumps. How do I start?"
The reality is that a chainsaw and a weekend of backbreaking labor often isn't enough to transform thick timber or overgrown thickets into a plantable seedbed. You need the right tools.
This is why we highly recommend the services of BrushTamer.
The Story Behind the Service
The connection between Plant & Pursue and BrushTamer runs deep. Years ago, our co-owner Leon Miller was managing hunting properties and clearing food plots for clients. He quickly realized that the available equipment on the market just wasn't cutting it. He needed specialized tools to get the job done efficiently, but market research showed that only a handful of people in the Midwest had the right machinery.
Leon saw an opportunity to serve hunters better. He invested in high-end Fendt tractors and FAE forestry mulchers, launching BrushTamer with a simple goal: To get your land cleared the right way, from the tallest trees to the deepest roots.
While BrushTamer operates as its own entity, we trust them implicitly because we know their origin story—and we know they understand exactly what a hunter needs.
Why Forestry Mulching Changes the Game for Food Plots
When preparing a food plot, you generally have two options: traditional bulldozing or forestry mulching. BrushTamer specializes in Forestry Mulching, and for a food plotter, this method is superior for several reasons:
- Immediate Planting: One of BrushTamer’s core promises is this: "The moment we pull off your property, you can immediately begin executing the vision you have in mind." You don't have to wait months for piles to burn or mud to dry.
- Soil Health: Unlike bulldozers that scrape away nutrient-rich topsoil, forestry mulching grinds vegetation right where it stands. This leaves a layer of mulch that retains moisture, reduces erosion, and adds organic matter back into the soil—creating the perfect environment for your new seeds to germinate.
- Stump Grinding: Nothing breaks a tiller or planter faster than a hidden stump. BrushTamer offers specialized stump grinding to reduce stumps below ground level, leaving you with a smooth surface that is safe for your farming equipment.
Shared Values, Better Results
We recommend BrushTamer not just because they have great equipment, but because they share our core values. They know that behind every plot of land is a person with hopes, dreams, and plans.
Whether you are looking to clear a massive destination field for soybeans or carve out a secluded "kill plot" in the timber, they have the tools to make it happen. They don't just clear land; they prepare the canvas for your success.
